No, it is not a Cisco switch. It is an Alteon AD3. Turning
on or off spanning tree seems to have absolutely no effect
on the problem.
I would not think it would however, because as I've pointed out,
I've had 3 other NICs respond perfectly well to DHCP on that
subnet (running OpenBSD, Linux, and W2K).

- -----------------------------------
Is the switch a Cisco switch? If so, you'll have to set the Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP) on the kickstart ports to "portfast".
Here's a snippet from a howto on the 'net:
Setup 'spanning-tree portfast':
Without this option, DHCP may fail because it takes too long for
a port
to come online after a machine powers up. Do not set
spanning-tree portfast
on ports that will connect to other switches. Do the following on
each
port on your switch:
cisco> conf t
cisco> int Fa/1
cisco> spanning-tree portfast
cisco> exit
cisco> int Fa/2
cisco> spanning-tree portfast
cisco> exit
Hope this helps,
Ajay
